The campaign has been heavily criticized by Ammanis, many of whom say they depend on the ridesharing service in a city where getting around can be difficult. There are just under 11,000 taxis operating in Amman, also according to Venture, and residents often complain of being forced to wait or pay above the odds for the rides.

However, some defend critics of Uber, arguing that taxi drivers struggle to make a living and that unregulated ride sharing services threaten their income.

So far, however, the campaign against Uber has been unsuccessful in Jordan. The service is still readily available in Amman – at least for now.
